    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

I sent my carbs to Bill over the winter so he could clean and rebuild them. He also jetted for pods. Today I put the carbs back on my bike with K & N pods and OMG! What a difference! He also nailed the jetting perfectly. I already had a V & H 4/1 street exhaust on it. I've got some decel popping to get rid of. But no big deal. The bike is a beast now. No hesitation, it's massive power on demand, All I have to do is twist the throttle and it's all there all the time! And it sounds even more badass than before.
Bill, you da man! Tonight I drank too many frosty ones but...Tommorrow I ride!!!! This thing is a fire breathing dragon!!!

Hehe, Bill knows his stuff. He learned from some of the best, and now he's one of them :) He's been helping me out for 2 years now!

NO! NO! Not the evil 'Your bike will never run right again' PODS!

Another proven example that, done right, PODS and a jet kit are one of the biggest bang-for-the-buck mods you can do to these bikes......

Congrats and enjoy the extra power!
Joe


P.S. Bill is a great guy and certainly knows how to get the most out of an engine!
 
I'm actually glad the carbs worked at all. The guy who worked on his carbs before didn't set the float height, drilled the wrong side of the carb to remove the mixture screw caps (drilled through the float bowl gasket surface into the venturi) and buggered up the slides when he drilled them for the DJ kit.
I was excited for you to get this running. It is a beautiful bike! You should post a pic.
 
Sooo... Woud you be interested in going through another set? :)
 
Hey Bill, I rode this afternoon to an area out of town where I could really grab a few handfuls of throttle without worrying too much about getting busted by the man. All I can say is HOLY SH*T!!!:-D
Thanks again dude. Awesome job.

Aww shucks. Twas nothing. :oops:
 
Bill just helped me trace wires in circles for an hour and a half on the phone, to the successful resolution of my wiring issues. Bill Rocks!
 
Bill spent an awful lot of time messing around with my bike & didn't solve one problem... and he cut the fuel hose too short!



;) :lol:

Yeah right, only kidding, he's helped me out a lot too.

Dan :)
 
Yep, running great this evening. Just need to get another coil in there now, change the cam chain & possibly stick some relays in to trigger the coils.

Oh.. plus I need to fit the breather filter & stick it somewhere.

Dan :)
 
Say Bill, what can you do with oem carbs needle jets and the needles go bad? Suzuki don't carry them and jet kits don't have them either.
 
IF done right, GREAT mod. I still have factory exhaust with the pods and a dyna jet kit on my GS1000. Not only is the bike scary fast, from a distance it sounds like a hot rod V-8!

In this case I think it's safe to say it was done right. Compared to the way the bike used to run, the thing now feels like it's got a NOS kit and no issues to speak of. I think "my arms must be two inches longer" (LMAO< Bill) just from riding it for a few days! :shock::-D
 
I let the PO take it for a ride the other day, blew his mind "It's not even the same bike!"
